As the curtain falls on the 2022 season for the League of Legends Worlds, DRX have emerged as champions. This is the first major victory for the team, securing the lion’s share of the $2,25,000 LoL Worlds 2022 prize pool.
The talking point for the T1 and DRX final was the clash of two high school friends who now play for different teams. Faker and Deft battled it out, with the latter taking the win and the biggest slice of the prize money.
While the prize pool has not increased from last year, the distribution percentage has been shaken up. DRX took home 22 percent of the total money, making their share around $489,500. The runner-up, T1, got around 15 percent, which is $333,750.

How much money did DRX take from LoL Worlds 2022 Prize Pool?
After a nail-biting match-five victory, DRX managed to clinch the win and nearly half a million dollars in prize money. Emotions ran high as Deft hoisted his first Worlds title with his team after a nerve-wracking tournament run.
As the underdog story grew through each stage of the tournament, it culminated in a tense final. The match kicked off with each time winning a match, ending up with a 1-1 scoreline. The battle of attrition continued as match five was required as the decider. Faker and Deft’s treasure trove of experience over the last decade helped guided their squads with DRX ultimately winning 3-2.
Here’s what the top four teams at the LoL Worlds 2022 walked away with:
- 1st place: DRX – $489,500
- 2nd place: T1 – $333,750
- 3rd-4th: JD Gaming and Gen.G Esports – $178,000
